Can Weigh Safe Hitch be Used in Rise Position and the Scale Still Work?

Question:

I have a 2022 Audi Q7 Prestige with towing package and the receiver is quite low, bottom of receiver about 12-13 inch off the ground and I need to connect a trailer receiver about 15-16inch off the ground when level. Can this hitch also be used to raise the hitch to align with the receiver? I am guessing the tongue weight feature would not work in that orientation?

Hey Stu, thanks for reaching out!

The Weigh Safe Hitch # WS96ZR can definitely be used in the rise position, and the scale will still work in that orientation as well, so you'll be good to go!

What are you planning on towing?
